Here's A First Look At The New Edition Biopic Cast In Character

The buzz surrounding BET's upcoming New Edition Biopic miniseries is continuing to build and now a first look at photos of the cast in character have been released.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Empire star Bryshere Gray will play Michael Bivins, Luke James will play Johnny Gill, Keith Powers will play Ronnie DeVoe, Elijah Kelly will play Ricky Bell and Woody McClain will play Bobby Brown.

Photos of the actresses recently added to the cast have yet to surface, but given the transformations we've seen so far from the guys, we can't wait to see La La, Monica Calhoun and the rest of the ladies in character!
